Atlanta, get ready to two-step. Riley Green is coming to Ameris Bank Amphitheatre on May 8 and 9, 2026, and if you know anything about this Alabama-born country powerhouse, you already know these two nights are going to be something special. Two chances to catch one of the most authentic voices in modern country music — right here in the heart of the South. This is not a show you sleep on.

Who Is Riley Green and Why Atlanta Should Care

Riley Green isn't just another hat act riding the Nashville wave. This is a genuine, roots-first country artist who grew up hunting, fishing, and living the stories he sings about. From his breakout hit "There Was This Girl" to crowd anthems like "I Wish Grandpas Never Died" and "Worst Way," Green writes music that hits Atlanta fans right where they live — because the culture he's singing about feels like home no matter which side of the state line you're on.

His rise in country music has been anything but manufactured. Green built his fanbase the old-fashioned way — relentless touring, honest songwriting, and a stage presence that makes every arena and amphitheatre feel like a backyard bonfire. Atlanta crowds recognize authenticity, and Riley Green delivers it every single night.

What to Expect at Ameris Bank Amphitheatre

Ameris Bank Amphitheatre is one of the premier outdoor music venues in the Southeast, and it sets the perfect stage for Riley Green's brand of country. With the warm Georgia nights of early May rolling in, you're looking at ideal concert conditions — open air, great sightlines, and an electric crowd that Atlanta is famous for producing.

Expect a high-energy setlist packed with fan favorites and deep cuts that remind you why live country music simply hits different. Green is known for:

  • Powerful, stripped-back vocal performances that don't need studio tricks
  • Deep crowd connection — this guy genuinely loves his fans
  • A setlist that spans his full catalog with surprise moments mixed in
  • The kind of atmosphere that makes you forget your week ever happened
